derek, can u deny that the press fit method
In Response To: Re: they are press fitted, no links at all except ()

is nowhere as robust as the screw pins in a rolex?
what would the price difference be for omega to simply copy this feature from the better brand ... $1.50 a watch ?
yes, i dont personally know of any watch slipping off when the pins eject themselves, but seeing how flimsy they are on my SMP, i dont doubt it. i've actually had my dealer put metal paste in the holes in both ends of the hole...he says that he does that for all new omegas after the bracelet has been sized... if anyone should know, he should . he sells a hell of a lot of these watches.just being held in place by a male crimp in the tube and a female slot in the pin does nothing for omega.except save a $1.50, perhaps.
rolex wins, omega loses. simple.
